Activates tunnel(s).
mktun [-v 4|6] [-t tid_list] [-i] [-l]
Use the mktun command to activate tunnel(s). For IBM tunnels, this command initiates the security protocol exchanges between the local and the destination host.
| -i | Initiation flag. If the -i flag is not used, all the tunnels in the tunnel database (or those listed with the -t flag) will be activated. If the -i flag is used, only the tunnels whose tunnel definitions in the tunnel database with the status of "active" will be activated. |
| -l | If the -l flag is specified, manual tunnels will be activated. |
| -t | If the -t flag is specified, only the tunnel(s) that follows this flag will be activated. If the -t flag is not used, all tunnel(s) currently defined in the tunnel database will be activated. The tid_list can be a single tunnel ID or a sequence of tunnel IDs separated by "," or "-" (1, 3, 5-7). |
| -v | The IP version of the tunnels to be activated. The value of 4 specifies IP version 4 tunnels. The value of 6 specifies IP version 6 tunnels. If the -v flag is not used, all tunnels for IP version 4 and IP version 6 will be activated. |
